The Eagles of Club América are about to get rid of one of their last jewels of the quarry, Sebastián Córdova, who just a few months ago had an export label for the European market, passing it in a large quantity, following in Edson’s footsteps Álvarez and Diego Lainez, the last pearls that came out of the Nest in more than 10 million dollars.
2021 was a bittersweet year for Sebastián Córdova, since since the arrival of Santiago Solari, the azulcrema midfielder was losing relevance in the starting eleven of the Eagles, since his position was occupied by the reinforcement requested by the Argentine DT, Álvaro Fidalgo, who he had an outstanding second semester with América.
While in America he lost total prominence, Córdova showed off his skills in the Olympic TRI during the Tokyo 2020 Games this summer, being one of the most productive players in offense in the entire tournament, scoring 4 goals and giving 3 assists.
–
Córdova beat players like André Pierre Gignac (4 goals and 1 assist in 3 games); Ui-jo Hwang from South Korea (4 goals in 4 games), Alexis Vega (3 goals and 1 game) or Take Jubo from Japan (3 goals and 1 assist in 6 games).
In the 6 games that Córdova played in Tokyo 2020, he registered better numbers than in all of 2021 with América de Solari, as he was only able to score 4 goals and provide a pass for goal with those of del Nido.
His numbers are in complete contrast to what was done in previous seasons, when he was led by Miguel Herrera, a technician who used him mostly on the left side and as an offensive midfielder, registering higher productivity for América.
Numbers of Fidalgo with Santiago Solari:
- 37 games played
- 4 goals
- 5 assists
- 2,843 minutes
- He intervened in a goal for America every 315 minutes.
